Hi, a little help from me
Q. How should the GR/PP/SOFTEX form should be disposed?
A. (i) Copies of export declaration forms should be disposed of as under :
(a) GR forms should be completed by the exporter in duplicate and both the copies submitted to the Customs at the port of shipment along with the shipping bill. Customs will give their running serial number on both the copies after admitting the corresponding shipping bill. The Customs serial number will have ten numerals denoting the code number of the port of shipment, the calendar year and a six digit running serial number. Customs will certify the value declared by the exporter on both the copies of the GR form at the space earmarked and will also record the assessed value. They will then return the duplicate copy of the form to the exporter and retain the original for transmission to Reserve Bank. Exporters should submit the duplicate copy of the GR form again to Customs along with the cargo to be shipped. After examination of the goods and certifying the quantity passed for shipment on the duplicate copy, Customs will return it to the exporter for submission to the authorised dealer for negotiation or collection of export bills.
(b) Within twenty-one days from the date of export, exporter should lodge the duplicate copy together with relative shipping documents and an extra copy of the invoice with the authorised dealer named in the GR form. After the documents have been negotiated/sent for collection, the authorised dealer should report the transaction to Reserve Bank in statement ENC under cover of appropriate R-Supplementary Return. However, the duplicate copy of the form together with a copy of invoice etc. will henceforth be retained by the branch and may not be submitted to Reserve Bank.
(c) Where a part of export proceeds are credited to EEFC account, the export declaration (duplicate) form may be certified as under :
"Proceeds amounting to....... representing......% of the export realisation credited to EEFC account maintained by the exporter with......"
(ii) The manner of disposal of PP forms is same as that for GR forms. Postal authorities will allow export of goods by post only if the original copy of the form has been countersigned by an authorised dealer. Therefore, PP forms should be first presented by the exporter to an authorised dealer for countersignature. Authorised dealer will countersign the forms in accordance with directions of RBI and return the original copy to the exporter, who should submit the form to the post office with the parcel. The duplicate copy of the PP form will be retained by the branch to whom the exporter should submit relevant documents together with an extra copy of invoice for negotiation/collection, within the prescribed period of twenty-one days.
(iii) The exporter should submit declaration in Form SOFTEX in triplicate in respect of export of computer software and audio / video / television software to the concerned designated official of Government of India at STPI / EPZ /FTZ /SEZ for valuation / certification not later than 30 days from the date of invoice / the date of last invoice raised in a month, as indicated above. The designated officials may also certify the SOFTEX Forms in respect of EOUs which are registered with them. As for disposal of SOFTEX forms the procedure indicated in Regulation 6 of Export Regulations is to be observed. However, the duplicate copy of the form together with a copy of invoice etc. will henceforth be retained by the branch and may not be submitted to Reserve Bank.
